i liked the level randomization, but i didn't had the feeling like being the bad guy :)

Great game, the random level generation is very refreshing. Cool 2D illustrations as well. Aiming at some traps was kinda hard sometime

Nice innovative gameplay! The instructions and tips screens were very well done. The game felt a bit dark, but I did appreciate the random generation.

Novel idea, but lots of obstacles I was unable to interact with. Scored best by trying to keep him alive, so the balance clearly needs tweaking. Lovely visual treatment though, very polished.

Interesting concept, but I think the game would work better if we either try to kill him or to save him.

Really good marks on graphics and mood! And innovation!

I hope you continue this a bit post-comp and sprinkle on some magic engagement dust!

The robot moves quickly and the levels are random, so there's no real time to apply any kind of tactics in saving him. If I just leave him alone and remove all obstacles he still dies rather quickly most of the time.

I like the idea, if you expand on this I think this actually calls for more designed levels and a larger view area so players can plan ahead through +/- obstacle courses.
